The Building and Place Name Evaluation Workgroup, consisting of key stakeholders, is tasked to review the context of a namesake’s life and gather community input to make a recommendation on how to address a namesake’s legacy, including the possible renaming of a building. Whether or not the workgroup recommends that that building or place be renamed, it will recommend forms of permanent community education to provide information regarding the context of namesake’s life and legacy and why a building or place bears their name.
